I also use Ziploc bags for each probe. Coil up the cord and drop it in... No more tangles!

You DO NOT want to change the subnet mask on the External (internet side) port on your router. Your ISP defines that along with your IP address, default gateway, and DNS settings. They do this to conserve their pool of available public addresses. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 just means...

Hey Amir, Nice to see you are still updating your great software again I fondly remember back in the day when you were testing and controlling my heavily loaded Stoker here in Atlanta while you were over in Japan!! Any chance of adding support for one or two more sets of blower/pit probes...

I had not checked the "enable email logging" box on the front panel after setting up the email options page for my last cook. Oops - Operator error Some beer was involved... Just played around with the "simulated cook" option and both the fixed interval status updates and the alarms are...

Each probe cable has a small circuit board located inside the 1/4 inch connector. This reads the the temp from the thermocouple sensor and sends a serial type communication signal back to the controller. The little circuit boards in the temp probes are supplied by the same DC voltage sent...

Have a great weekend with the family Amir!! Hopefully I will get a chance to fire up a couple smokers at the same time and try out the dual blower features in the next day or two. Now that Bill has retired and has some free time, maybe you can convince him to get some new cooking toys so he...

Hi Amir, I haven't had a chance to use Stokerlog for a quite a while but just downloaded the latest and finished a 24hr cook. Everthing went well and your software has really evolved nicely!! There were only a couple minor glitches. 1. I had set the email updates to send to my verizon cell...

I do have 6 meat probes now and plan to add a couple more in the future. It's awefull convenient to have a probe in each piece of meat when you have 3 or 4 boston butts in each smoker. They all seem to cook at a different rates.

That sound OK to me Amir. Showing the numeric values in the primary display (where the target temps are) works well. I like having a second graph for the second cooker/blower. Having a checkmark and a checkmark for each meat probe to select which cooker (and graph) it is in. Thanks again for...

If I get around to getting the 12v adaptor I would use an analyzer like this to determine what capacity (Amp/hour) battery would be needed. http://www.powerwerx.com/product.asp?ProdID=3809&CtgID=3575 It would be connected between the regular power supply and the stoker for similar cooks and it...

Hmmm. So what do we do with fire alarms here? I would need to association just the same? Ditto for lid-open. Sure would be nice to not have to deal with this at the start . </div></BLOCKQUOTE> It wouldn't be worth dealing with it at all in the software. I can simply move the control probe...

Correct, Two pit probes (Fire-1 and fire-2) are in the same smoker and on the same graph. (Usually labeled as Grill-1, Dome-1) I do (very rarely) start the cook with the blower being controlled by one probe (dome), then switch to the other (grill) later in the cook as the meat warms up and...

I would think the UI would work well being very similar to your current layout with the control functions on top and graph(s) for each pit stacked below. It would be nice to be able to select the graphs tiled vertically, or to select a tabbed/page format. Maybe you could split the control...

I also vote for more meat probes and ability to control more than one pit/blower. ( I know, a lot of work, but it's nice to dream . . .) - Currently I have two blowers and plan on adding a third soon. Also have six meat probes. I sometimes cook on three or four BGE pits at the same time now...

Sounds like the IP address in your stoker might have changed. Lets make sure you can get into the web interface first. On the Stoker front panel, press the Down Arrow button until you see the 'Main System Info' Screen. Press the 'Sel' button, then the Down Arrow again and and is should say...

Sorry, I forgot the link: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/madmaxturkey.htm Sometimes the temp probes give a false reading when they are too close to a bone. It helps to use more than one and move them to a different position if a reading looks not quite right. It is also handy to have super fast...

Hi Amir, Glad you are getting to spend some quality time with the family. Here is a really good recipe/technique for doing a turkey that will turn out perfect. Notice the "Two Important Steps" if nothing else. His method of icing down the breast before the cook allows the brown meat to be...

If you are using a wireless connection to your stoker there are often connection problems that can be cause by RFI (Radio Frequency Interference.) These can be caused by cordless phones, Microwave ovens, neighbors wireless networks, etc. These brief interuptions on a wireless network might not...

If the wife likes chocolate more than you do, that is fine too. Like the old saying goes: "If Mamma is happy . . . Everybody is happy!" On the email syntax, I would think something simple. The subject line would just be the alarm type. (IE- fire alarm, food alarm, or timed alarm) The...

Or Chocolate ???
